LOAN WATCH: Angol nets as Wood reach play-off final

Mike Simmonds

Striker Lee Angol played his part as Boreham Wood reached the Vanarama Conference South play-off final with a 4-2 aggregate win over Havant & Waterlooville last week.

The 20-year-old started as Wood won the away leg 2-0 on Wednesday, setting up Junior Morais for the opening goal, before being replaced in the closing stages, as team-mate Charlie Walker came on late on too.

Angol was then on target in the second leg on Saturday, netting his 26th goal of the season as Wood were held to a 2-2 draw, but went through to host Whitehawk on Saturday.

Defender Brett Longden was part of the St Neots side who reached the Southern League Premier DIvision play-off final.

First, he started as the Saints won 1-0 at Poole Town in the semi-final last Tuesday night, playing the whole game.

He was then selected for the final at Truro City on Monday, picking up a yellow card in the first half as St Neots were beaten 1-0 by a late penalty.

The 20-year-old is now out of contract at Kenilworth Road, with St Neots hopeful of a return to the Cozy Stadium as they tweeted: “A massive thank you to @brettlongden32 for all your efforts with us. Hope we see you again next season #toplad.”

Striker Zane Banton started as Hemel Hempstead won the St Mary’s Cup final with a 1-0 win over Tring Athletic on Monday too.
